Q:

What SD Card should I buy?

I’ve been shooting aviation and wildlife for a while and ive just bought a a7r3, but whenever I shoot a burst I have to wait for around 5 seconds, I currently have the Sandisk ultra 32gb 100mb/s.

No budget, any help is appreciated:)

Short answer: your card is the bottleneck. What you actually need is UHS-II (in slot 1)

Best value in my opinion are the Sabrent v60 cards. v60 is really the rating you have to care about, it is the minimum guaranteed speed instead of the theoretical maximum speed. V90 is of course better, but much more expensive. V30 is kind of slow, and you only save a few bucks while getting half the speed. So v60 is the best bang for your buck.

Lexar Gold 1800X V60, i recommend this one because they are cheap, reliable (using 12 of them, no failure) and the fastest V60 out there, or any good quality v90 card will work the best

Hey Mira,
You should NEVER use micro SD cards in a camera that needs normal SD cards.

I’ve had good luck with the SanDisk Extreme Pro’s. And PNY Pro Elite Primes(these are micro SD make sure adaptor can handle the speed).
